Nerve deafness

I'm sorry I was ****ed up the night I posted it and every time I tried to spell disease it looked all kinds of twisted so I substituted it with illness. I apologize for having poor grammar when I'm hammered. I wish everyone best wishes and love and happiness all over each and everyone of you. God Bless!
 
John I know of Deaf who plane designers nurses doctors mucsic and load of clever things.
If you Deaf and no way can be reversed then my friend you got get on with it and live fulfilling life you may have to redefine things but that's life..i was near your age when happened to me septecimia following an accident but I was not left high and dry I went to rehab shown all the gizmo's had things fitted up etc..I did have down days enough to put me in hospital but did not help only me could do that
quite a few on here had infections that left them HofH MANY HAVE CI but for me it was not an option I learn to listen with my body You need get out join deaf clubs mix with others your audi help make life easier..It must be tough in States from the posts I read you go deaf that's it...at least we get occupational therapists and social workers...ASL not always option it takes time to learn. lip reading classes important also the person in your life needs to adapt if you got children learn ASL with them..
I NOT A YANKY i am BRIT
 
Hi John: Like you had "sensoinerual hearing loss" about 50 years. Genetic. Used Hearing aids in both ears since the 60/70s. Became completely DEAF in December 2006. Requested consideration re Cochlear Implant. Was accepted and activated August 2007.

Has this been considered by you?

I am also aware not everyone is "suitable" for a variety of reasons. Only a ENT doctor can determine exactly your situation.

Much success in dealing with the fact of being DEAF.
 
not everyone in MA is snobby- I know quite a few people who were born and raised in MA and they are nowhere near snobby.

Maybe they're just all in your town- in that case- considering a move in your near future to another state wouldn't hurt.

My maternal grandmother was from MA--she was one of the sweetest ladies you'd want to know. No snobbishness at all.

My other MA ancestors lived before my time, so no telling how they were. :giggle:

Most of my other immediate ancestors were from CT, which is neighbor to MA, and none of the family members I've met were snobbish.

Yankee land is like any other place--some good and some bad.

I grew up a very small town and people were very snobby if you were difference in any way , so I stuck out right as being difference in school .
I know a few people that hated growing up in my town . It was also very Anti Semite . Jewish people could not join the golf club near my house.

Because you refuse to sign. So thus to you its just a lacking...a ngative..a medical afflictin, a disorder, an abnormal stateof being human in need of treatment and a cure.
The capital D in Deaf isnt about the medical model. Its about our language and culture. That is where the gift lies..

AntiSemite / Jews was/is not restricted to MA. You probably would have run into that, and the attitude toward your deafness, just about anywhere.

Never to late to sign. Fact is she doesnt sign. And wont sign.
Again the gift is in our language and our cullture. Not in the pysiclal or medical paradigm.
Others can tag us all they like and as they wish...
Its disarming. And disempowering.
Thus we empower ourselves by our signs...its that simple.

WDYS brought up the Anti semite, not me. I agree that it's off-topic.

MA is Massachusetts (you had to make me spell it out, didn't you? :lol: )
